Abstract
La historiografía económica sobre Campomanes, más concretamente la referida
al análisis de sus propuestas en materia fabril, ha consagrado el tópico del carácter «anticapitalista» o «antindustrialista» de las mismas. Esa valoración, nacida en buena medida de una interpretación sesgada del Discurso sobre el
fomento de la industria popular, ha eclipsado las restantes aportaciones
doctrinales del autor, así como los logros de las políticas industriales por él auspiciadas. Una lectura más sistemática de sus escritos industrialistas, adecuadamente
restituidos al contexto histórico en que se formulan, ayudará, sin duda, a desterrar lugares comunes y a rehabilitar a una de las figuras centrales de la economía española del Setecientos.
The historiography on Campomanes, in particular that referring to his writings on factory matters, has established a cliché of their anti-capitalistic or anti-industrial character. This appraisal, which can be traced back to a biased interpretation of his Discurso sobre el fomento de la industria popular, has secluded both the remaining doctrinal contributions on industry made by this author and the achievements of his proposed industrial policy. A more careful reading of his industrialist writings, adequately placed within their historical context, will no doubt contribute to discard platitudes and to rehabilitate one of the leading intellectuals of Spanish economy during the 18th century.
